They are denoted "Beginner" because they use plug-and-play modules that interface to an LittleBits Arduino, controlled by click-and-drag programming. Users do not have to deal with C/C++ coding, nor do they need to worry about circuits. The [[Intermediate Tutorials]] also utilize the Arduino and Ardublock software, however users deal with discrete circuit components, integrated circuits, and breadboards. The [[Advanced Tutorials]] utilize the same materials as the intermediate tutorials, however the user programs in C/C++ instead of using Ardublock. = LittleBits System = The LittleBits includes an [http://littlebits.cc/bits/arduino Arduino Leonardo microcontroller module], input sensors, output displays, power modules, and many other items. They connect together using magnetic latches so that backwards or incompatible modules are not connected together. More information about LittleBits projects and other modules can be found at the manufacturer website: * [http://littlebits.cc/ LittleBits Official Website] [[Image:Rpl_littlebits_box.jpg|400px|LittleBits Base Kit Showcase]] == LittleBits Arduino and Ardublock == The Arduino is a device that can control the input and output of information and also make calculations. This information could be a button press, temperature/moisture measurement, distance measurement, light measurement, LED output, sound output, etc. To control this information, a user would program the Arduino using a click-and-drag programming software called Ardublock (for the beginner and intermediate tutorials, not the advanced tutorials). [[Image:Rpl_littlebits.png|400px|Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits)]] == Why use the Arduino with LittleBits? == LittleBits are plug-and-play and their goal is to "hardware program." However, sometimes we have simple goals that require very complex LittleBits hardware logic (and-gates, or-gates, nor-gates, xor-gates, etc.). For example, let's say we want the bargraph to increase each time we press a button, then reset when it reaches the maximum. This sounds very simple, however the logic behind this goal requires memory and the ability to output a specific analog voltage without the use of dimmers. This is very difficult and would take VAST amounts of LittleBits hardware logic, if it is even possible without programming. The Arduino makes it very simple as you can see in the animation below.

the Ardublock software. They are denoted "Beginner" because they use plug-and-play modules that interface to an LittleBits Arduino, controlled by click-and-drag programming. Users do not have to deal with C/C++ coding, nor do they need to worry about circuits. The [[Intermediate Tutorials]] also utilize the Arduino and Ardublock software, however users deal with discrete circuit components, integrated circuits, and breadboards. The [[Advanced Tutorials]] utilize the same materials as the intermediate tutorials, however the user programs in C/C++ instead of using Ardublock. = LittleBits System = The LittleBits includes an [http://littlebits.cc/bits/arduino Arduino Leonardo microcontroller module], input sensors, output displays, power modules, and many other items.

This information could be a button press, temperature/moisture measurement, distance measurement, light measurement, LED output, sound output, etc. To control this information, a user would program the Arduino using a click-and-drag programming software called Ardublock (for the beginner and intermediate tutorials, not the advanced tutorials). [[Image:Rpl_littlebits.png|400px|Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits)]] == Why use the Arduino with LittleBits? == LittleBits are plug-and-play and their goal is to "hardware program." However, sometimes we have simple goals that require very complex LittleBits hardware logic (and-gates, or-gates, nor-gates, xor-gates, etc.). For example, let's say we want the bargraph to increase each time we press a button, then reset when it reaches the maximum. This sounds very simple, however the logic behind this goal requires memory and the ability to output a specific analog voltage without the use of dimmers. This is very difficult and would take VAST amounts of LittleBits hardware logic, if it is even possible without programming. The Arduino makes it very simple as you can see in the animation below.

[[Image:Rpl_littlebits.png|400px|Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits)]] == Why use the Arduino with LittleBits? == LittleBits are plug-and-play and their goal is to "hardware program." However, sometimes we have simple goals that require very complex LittleBits hardware logic (and-gates, or-gates, nor-gates, xor-gates, etc.). For example, let's say we want the bargraph to increase each time we press a button, then reset when it reaches the maximum. This sounds very simple, however the logic behind this goal requires memory and the ability to output a specific analog voltage without the use of dimmers. This is very difficult and would take VAST amounts of LittleBits hardware logic, if it is even possible without programming. The Arduino makes it very simple as you can see in the animation below.

use the LittleBits version of the Arudino, LittleBits modules (sensors, LEDs, etc.) and the Ardublock software. They are denoted "Beginner" because they use plug-and-play modules that interface to an LittleBits Arduino, controlled by click-and-drag programming. Users do not have to deal with C/C++ coding, nor do they need to worry about circuits. The [[Intermediate Tutorials]] also utilize the Arduino and Ardublock software, however users deal with discrete circuit components, integrated circuits, and breadboards. The [[Advanced Tutorials]] utilize the same materials as the intermediate tutorials, however the user programs in C/C++ instead of using Ardublock. = LittleBits Arduino and Ardublock System = The Arduino is a device that can control the input and output of information and also make calculations. This information could be a button press, temperature/moisture measurement, distance measurement, light measurement, LED output, sound output, etc. To control this information, a user would program the Arduino using a click-and-drag programming software called Ardublock (for the beginner and intermediate tutorials, not the advanced tutorials). [[Image:Rpl_littlebits.png|400px|Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits)]] == Why use the Arduino with LittleBits? == LittleBits are plug-and-play and their goal is to "hardware program." However, sometimes we have simple goals that require very complex LittleBits hardware logic (and-gates, or-gates, nor-gates, xor-gates, etc.). For example, let's say we want the bargraph to increase each time we press a button, then reset when it reaches the maximum. This sounds very simple, however the logic behind this goal requires memory and the ability to output an specific analog voltage without the use of dimmers. This is very difficult and would take VAST amounts of LittleBits hardware logic, if it is even possible without programming. However, the Arduino makes it very simple as you can see in the animation below.

They are used to check whether something is true or false. The 'something' that you are checking is called a condition. You probably use if/else statements everyday in decision making without even thinking about it. When you got up before school this morning you may have asked yourself if you were hungry. This would be your condition, the thing to check. If you were hungry, your condition was true! You probably then ate breakfast. Otherwise (else) you weren't hungry and your condition was false and you didn't eat breakfast. If you were to make a MATLAB script out of this type of logical thinking it would look like: if amIHungry == true eat_breakfast; else dont_eat_breakfast; end In general if/else statements take the form of: if condition_is_true (execute code) else (execute different code) end Here is one more example that uses the 'clock' function in MATLAB. The clock function returns a six element array containing the year, month, day, hour, minute, and seconds in that order. I want to check if the hour element (the fourth element in the array) is after 12 pm(noon). If it is, print a greeting saying good afternoon/evening. If it is before noon, print a greeting saying good morning. dateTime = clock; hour = dateTime(4); if hour >= 12 disp('Good afternoon/evening!'); else disp('Good morning!'); end === Nested if/else statements === Nested if/else statements are if/else statements within another if/else statement. They are called nested because they are 'nested' (they reside) within another if/else statement. They can be useful if you are trying to check a condition within another checked condition that was true. The script below asks a user for a number. The first 'if' checks if the number is less than 0. If the number is the script prints that the number is negative to the console. If the number is not less than 0, then it is either 0 or greater than 0. There is a nested if/else block within the else block. The nested if/else block is called the inner if/else block. The unnested else statement is called the outer else block. userInput = input('Enter a number.'); if userInput < 0 fprintf('%d is a negative number.\n', userInput); else if userInput == 0 fprintf('%d is neither positve or negative.\n', userInput); else fprintf('%d is a positive number.\n', userInput); end end Here is another script that asks a user for a number. The script will then check whether or not the number the user enters is divisible by 2, divisible by 3, divisible by both, or divisible by neither. The script checks this using the 'mod()' function. Mod is short for modulus which returns the remainder when a number is divided by another number. If the remainder is 0, then the first number is divisible by the second number. userInput = input('Enter a number: '); if mod(userInput, 2) == 0 if mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is divisible by both 2 and 3\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is only divisible by 2\n', userInput) end elseif mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 3\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is not divisible by 2 or 3\n', userInput) end Nesting if/else statements is okay when you only have a couple conditions to check. If you have more than a few conditions though, nesting if/else blocks can get confusing really fast. Often there is a better solution than nesting. The code below achieves the same thing as the code above but uses 'elseif' to check conditions instead of nested if else statements. Generally this approach looks cleaner and is easier for other people to read. userInput = input('Enter a number: '); if mod(userInput, 2) == 0 && mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is divisible by both 2 and 3\n', userInput) elseif mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 3\n', userInput) elseif mod(userInput, 2) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 2\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is not divisible by 2 or 3\n', userInput) end === Nested for loops === for i = 1:10 for j = 1:10 result = i * j; fprintf('%d\t', result) end disp(' ') end [[Image:Example.png]] == Hands-On == Here are some hands-on lab notes. 852 846 2015-04-23T18:04:58Z Snavely 9 /* Nested for loops */ wikitext text/x-wiki This is the page for EE185. = History = This is the history. = Lecture Items = This section has interesting items related to lecture. === Vectors === This is the vectors section === Trigonometry === This is the trig section === Complex Numbers === This is the complex numbers section = Lab Items = This section has interesting items related to lab. == MATLAB == Here are some MATLAB notes. === How to use a for-loop === Here is an example of how to use a for-loop (needing explanation...) for i = 1:100 disp(i); end === If/Else Statements === If/else statements are a common fixture in programming.

Generally this approach looks cleaner and is easier for other people to read. userInput = input('Enter a number: '); if mod(userInput, 2) == 0 && mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is divisible by both 2 and 3\n', userInput) elseif mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 3\n', userInput) elseif mod(userInput, 2) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 2\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is not divisible by 2 or 3\n', userInput) end === Nested for loops === == Hands-On == Here are some hands-on lab notes. 836 834 2015-04-20T15:08:28Z Johnp 2 /* Lecture Items */ wikitext text/x-wiki This is the page for EE185. = History = This is the history. = Lecture Items = This section has interesting items related to lecture. === Vectors === This is the vectors section === Trigonometry === This is the trig section === Complex Numbers === This is the complex numbers section = Lab Items = This section has interesting items related to lab. == MATLAB == Here are some MATLAB notes. === How to use a for-loop === Here is an example of how to use a for-loop (needing explanation...) for i = 1:100 disp(i); end === If/Else Statements === If/else statements are a common fixture in programming. They are used to check whether something is true or false. The 'something' that you are checking is called a condition. You probably use if/else statements everyday in decision making without even thinking about it. When you got up before school this morning you may have asked yourself if you were hungry. This would be your condition, the thing to check. If you were hungry, your condition was true! You probably then ate breakfast. Otherwise (else) you weren't hungry and your condition was false and you didn't eat breakfast. If you were to make a MATLAB script out of this type of logical thinking it would look like: if amIHungry == true eat_breakfast; else dont_eat_breakfast; end In general if/else statements take the form of: if condition_is_true (execute code) else (execute different code) end Here is one more example that uses the 'clock' function in MATLAB. The clock function returns a six element array containing the year, month, day, hour, minute, and seconds in that order. I want to check if the hour element (the fourth element in the array) is after 12 pm(noon). If it is, print a greeting saying good afternoon/evening. If it is before noon, print a greeting saying good morning. dateTime = clock; hour = dateTime(4); if hour >= 12 disp('Good afternoon/evening!'); else disp('Good morning!'); end === Nested if/else statements === Nested if/else statements are if/else statements within another if/else statement. They are called nested because they are 'nested' (they reside) within another if/else statement. They can be useful if you are trying to check a condition within another checked condition that was true. The script below asks a user for a number. The first 'if' checks if the number is less than 0. If the number is the script prints that the number is negative to the console. If the number is not less than 0, then it is either 0 or greater than 0. There is a nested if/else block within the else block. The nested if/else block is called the inner if/else block. The unnested else statement is called the outer else block. userInput = input('Enter a number.'); if userInput < 0 fprintf('%d is a negative number.\n', userInput); else if userInput == 0 fprintf('%d is neither positve or negative.\n', userInput); else fprintf('%d is a positive number.\n', userInput); end end Here is another script that asks a user for a number. The script will then check whether or not the number the user enters is divisible by 2, divisible by 3, divisible by both, or divisible by neither. The script checks this using the 'mod()' function. Mod is short for modulus which returns the remainder when a number is divided by another number. If the remainder is 0, then the first number is divisible by the second number. userInput = input('Enter a number: '); if mod(userInput, 2) == 0 if mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is divisible by both 2 and 3\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is only divisible by 2\n', userInput) end elseif mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 3\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is not divisible by 2 or 3\n', userInput) end Nesting if/else statements is okay when you only have a couple conditions to check.

They are used to check whether something is true or false. The 'something' that you are checking is called a condition. You probably use if/else statements everyday in decision making without even thinking about it. When you got up before school this morning you may have asked yourself if you were hungry. This would be your condition, the thing to check. If you were hungry, your condition was true! You probably then ate breakfast. Otherwise (else) you weren't hungry and your condition was false and you didn't eat breakfast. If you were to make a MATLAB script out of this type of logical thinking it would look like: if amIHungry == true eat_breakfast; else dont_eat_breakfast; end In general if/else statements take the form of: if condition_is_true (execute code) else (execute different code) end Here is one more example that uses the 'clock' function in MATLAB. The clock function returns a six element array containing the year, month, day, hour, minute, and seconds in that order. I want to check if the hour element (the fourth element in the array) is after 12 pm(noon). If it is, print a greeting saying good afternoon/evening. If it is before noon, print a greeting saying good morning. dateTime = clock; hour = dateTime(4); if hour >= 12 disp('Good afternoon/evening!'); else disp('Good morning!'); end === Nested if/else statements === Nested if/else statements are if/else statements within another if/else statement. They are called nested because they are 'nested' (they reside) within another if/else statement. They can be useful if you are trying to check a condition within another checked condition that was true. The script below asks a user for a number. The first 'if' checks if the number is less than 0. If the number is the script prints that the number is negative to the console. If the number is not less than 0, then it is either 0 or greater than 0. There is a nested if/else block within the else block. The nested if/else block is called the inner if/else block. The unnested else statement is called the outer else block. userInput = input('Enter a number.'); if userInput < 0 fprintf('%d is a negative number.\n', userInput); else if userInput == 0 fprintf('%d is neither positve or negative.\n', userInput); else fprintf('%d is a positive number.\n', userInput); end end Here is another script that asks a user for a number. The script will then check whether or not the number the user enters is divisible by 2, divisible by 3, divisible by both, or divisible by neither. The script checks this using the 'mod()' function. Mod is short for modulus which returns the remainder when a number is divided by another number. If the remainder is 0, then the first number is divisible by the second number. userInput = input('Enter a number: '); if mod(userInput, 2) == 0 if mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is divisible by both 2 and 3\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is only divisible by 2\n', userInput) end elseif mod(userInput, 3) == 0 fprintf('%d is only divisible by 3\n', userInput) else fprintf('%d is not divisible by 2 or 3\n', userInput) end Nesting if/else statements is okay when you only have a couple conditions to check.

The Beginner Tutorials use an Arudino, sensor modules, and Ardublock software. They are denoted "Beginner" because they use plug-and-play modules that interface to an Arduino, controlled by click-and-drag programming. Users do not have to deal with C/C++ coding, nor do they need to worry about circuits. The intermediate tutorials also utilize the Arduino and Ardublock click-and-drag software, however users deal with discrete circuit components, integrated circuits, and breadboards. The advanced tutorials utilize the same materials as the intermediate tutorials, however the user programs in C/C++ instead of using Ardublock. * Beginner - [[Beginner Tutorials|Arduino + Grove System + Ardublock Tutorials]] * Beginner - [[Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits) |Arduino + LittleBits + Ardublock Tutorials]] * Intermediate - [[Intermediate Tutorials|Arduino + Grove System + Circuits and Components + Ardublock Tutorials]] * Advanced - [[Advanced Tutorials|Arduino + Grove System + Circuits and Components + C/C++ Tutorials]] == Beginner Tutorials - Grove System == * [[Beginner Tutorials|Arduino + Grove System + Ardublock Tutorials]] [[Image:Rpl_beginner_tutorials.png|400px|Beginner Tutorials]] == Beginner Tutorials - LittleBits == * [[Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits) |Arduino + LittleBits + Ardublock Tutorials]] [[Image:Rpl_littlebits.png|400px|Beginner Tutorials (LittleBits)]] == (Coming Soon...)

'''Automatic Lights (Easy)''' Create an automatic light switch that turns a light on when it is dark. Steps: 1. Plug the light sensor into A0 and the led into D3 on the Grove Shield. 2. Open ArduBlock within the Arduino environment. 3. Setup the base program within ArduBlock by finding it in the control tab and clicking on program. 4. Add the LED to the setup function by clicking on the Seeed Studio Grove tab and finding the led. Then drag the LED into the setup and set pin to 3 and status to off. 5. Drag an if statement from the control tab into the loop function. 6. Drag a > block from the tests tab into the if statement. 7. Drag a Rotary Angle Sensor from the Seeed Studio Grove tab and 1 from the Variables/Constants tab. Set the 1 constant to 100 and the Rotary Angle Sensor to pin 0. Make sure the Rotary Angle Sensor is greater than the 100. 8. Right click the LED from the setup and click clone. Drag it into the then in the if statement. 9. Right click the if statement and clone it. Drag it below the other if statement, change the greater than to less than, and change the status of the LED to on. 10.

The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock.

Current and previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this work to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor.

The Electronics Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a collaborative effort by the College of Design and College of Engineering at ISU to integrate practical electronics applications and product design. This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock.

Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this work to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor.

The Electronics Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a collaborative effort by the College of Design and College of Engineering at ISU to integrate practical electronics applications and product design. This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock.

Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this work to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor.

This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == [[Image:john_pritchard.jpg|150px|John Pritchard]] [[Image:mani_mina.jpg|150px|Mani Mina]] [[Image:david_ringholz.jpg|150px|David Ringholz]] The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock. == Ideology == In an attempt to connect electrical engineering principles with design principles, it has been challenging to create questions that also result in useful technical skills for non-engineers, specifically industrial designers. Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this work to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor. These kits will be supplemented with documentation that will allow a student to independently solve problems on their own, irrespective of an instructor. == Software == [[Image:RPL_Ardublock.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Ardublock visual "block" programming software]] The free software features a “block programming” scheme designed by ArduBlock.

The Electronics Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a collaborative effort by the College of Design and College of Engineering at ISU to integrate practical electronics applications and product design. This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock. == Ideology == In an attempt to connect electrical engineering principles with design principles, it has been challenging to create questions that also result in useful technical skills for non-engineers, specifically industrial designers. Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves.

The Electronics Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a collaborative effort by the College of Design and College of Engineering at ISU to integrate practical electronics applications and product design. This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock. == Ideology == In an attempt to connect electrical engineering principles with design principles, it has been challenging to create questions that also result in useful technical skills for non-engineers, specifically industrial designers. Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this work to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor. These kits will be supplemented with documentation that will allow a student to independently solve problems on their own, irrespective of an instructor. === Proposed Hardware === The proposed hardware kits include Arduino-based modules under the Grove platform created by Seeed Studio. The Arduino comes with a shield that can connect to each module. The modules can be easily mounted since they have screw holes, and are easy to plug in since cables are provided (no breadboarding required). === Proposed Software === The free software features a “block programming” scheme designed by ArduBlock. Traditionally, an Arduino is programmed in C/C++ code, whose syntax can be complex, confusing, and with a high learning curve. ArduBlock’s block programming environment makes programming easy and intuitive, with a much smaller learning curve. == Software == This is the software. === ArduBlock === This is ArduBlock. ==

2015-02-16T23:45:58Z Johnp 2 /* Hardware */ wikitext text/x-wiki The Electronics Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a collaborative effort by the College of Design and College of Engineering at ISU to integrate practical electronics applications and product design. This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock. == Ideology == In an attempt to connect electrical engineering principles with design principles, it has been challenging to create questions that also result in useful technical skills for non-engineers, specifically industrial designers. Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this document to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor. These kits will be supplemented with documentation that will allow a student to independently solve problems on their own, irrespective of an instructor. === Proposed Hardware === The proposed hardware kits include Arduino-based modules under the Grove platform created by Seeed Studio. The Arduino comes with a shield that can connect to each module. The modules can be easily mounted since they have screw holes, and are easy to plug in since cables are provided (no breadboarding required). === Proposed Software === The free software features a “block programming” scheme designed by ArduBlock. Traditionally, an Arduino is programmed in C/C++ code, whose syntax can be complex, confusing, and with a high learning curve. ArduBlock’s block programming environment makes programming easy and intuitive, with a much smaller learning curve. == Software == This is the software. === ArduBlock === This is ArduBlock. ==

This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock. == Ideology == In an attempt to connect electrical engineering principles with design principles, it has been challenging to create questions that also result in useful technical skills for non-engineers, specifically industrial designers. Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this document to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor. These kits will be supplemented with documentation that will allow a student to independently solve problems on their own, irrespective of an instructor. === Proposed Hardware === The proposed hardware kits include Arduino-based modules under the Grove platform created by Seeed Studio.

Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this document to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor. These kits will be supplemented with documentation that will allow a student to independently solve problems on their own, irrespective of an instructor. === Proposed Hardware === The proposed hardware kits include Arduino-based modules under the Grove platform created by Seeed Studio. The Arduino comes with a shield that can connect to each module. The modules can be easily mounted since they have screw holes, and are easy to plug in since cables are provided (no breadboarding required). === Proposed Software === The free software features a “block programming” scheme designed by ArduBlock. Traditionally, an Arduino is programmed in C/C++ code, whose syntax can be complex, confusing, and with a high learning curve.

2015-02-16T04:37:54Z Johnp 2 /* Grove Products */ wikitext text/x-wiki The Electronics Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a collaborative effort by the College of Design and College of Engineering at ISU to integrate practical electronics applications and product design. This lab is led by ISU faculty and staff that guide students in Industrial Design, helping them combine open-source electronics hardware and software with practices and methods in product design to realize the products they envision. == History == The Rapid Prototyping Lab was conceived by John Pritchard, Mani Mina, and David Ringholz in 2013, and deployed in 2015. The original plan incorporated printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication equipment, a full repertoire of passive components and integrated circuits, wireless communication modules, robotics equipment, advanced metrology equipment, and low and high power sources. It was decided that the first stage of the deployment include easy-to-use modules supplied by Seeedstudio (Grove products) and Arduino (Arduino Uno with Arduino IDE) using visual programming software called ArduBlock. == Ideology == In an attempt to connect electrical engineering principles with design principles, it has been challenging to create questions that also result in useful technical skills for non-engineers, specifically industrial designers. Previous attempts have presented thoughts, theories, and applications of technology creating many questions and activities. Some of these questions/activities include: # What is voltage and current? # What are batteries and how do we use them? # How do things work (e.g. disposable cameras, solar lamps, satellites, radios, radar, etc.)? # How can things conduct and how do electrons move around in a conductive material? # Why do these things work, what is the physics behind them? # Etc… These are useful questions in understanding the basic concepts of electricity and how it is applied to real world applications. These highlight methods of inquisition about the technology in our everyday life and help us think in a more meaningful way. However, many of the questions posed by students include: # How can I use these concepts in my design courses? # How can I use these components in my projects? # How do I mount the components into my fabricated design? # How do I find the right sensor/indicator for my project? # How can I create a proof-of-concept to show my project could work if I had the money? # Etc… Both paradigms are important, however there is currently a disconnect that does not necessarily allow students to answer these questions for themselves. It is the goal of this document to propose a set of hardware kits and downloadable software development environment in order to aide in this endeavor. These kits will be supplemented with documentation that will allow a student to independently solve problems on their own, irrespective of an instructor. === Proposed Hardware === The proposed hardware kits include Arduino-based modules under the Grove platform created by Seeed Studio. The Arduino comes with a shield that can connect to each module. The modules can be easily mounted since they have screw holes, and are easy to plug in since cables are provided (no breadboarding required). === Proposed Software === The free software features a “block programming” scheme designed by ArduBlock. Traditionally, an Arduino is programmed in C/C++ code, whose syntax can be complex, confusing, and with a high learning curve. ArduBlock’s block programming environment makes programming easy and intuitive, with a much smaller learning curve. == Hardware == The hardware used include the Arduino and Grove products. === Arduino

There are magneto-optic materials that have low and high field requirements, and each have their own advantages and dis advantages. These materials can be purchased from Integrated Photonics, Inc.: * [http://integratedphotonics.com/products/bigfaradayrotators.html Magneto-Optic LPE Garnet Faraday Rotator Crystals] For the moment, let's assume the [http://integratedphotonics.com/images/Product_Bulletin_FLM_F1-5.pdf FLM Low Moment rotator crystal] has been selected for use in this application. Since the material will be cut into 1x1mm slabs, the required field must be between '''0 - 225 Oe'''. [[Image:Integrated_photonics.jpg|200px]] = Create a field generation coil = As in the image shown below, we create our coil based on geometrical constraints. We will choose this particular coil to have the following properties: * Length: 6mm * Radius: 1.5mm * Number of turns: 16 * Field required: 225 Oe (225 G with &mu;_r=1) [[Image:Coil_making.jpg|400px]] = Choose a suitable MOSFET = To choose a suitable MOSFET there are many things to take into consideration. Some of the main questions to ask before searching include: # How much current is required by the MOSFET? # How fast does the MOSFET need to be? # Is there a limit to the voltage I can apply on Vgs and Vds? === Determining current required by the MOSFET === For magnetic field generators, the current required by the MOSFET is usually a function of the coil used to create the magnetic field. Once this coil has been chosen and the field requirement decided, the required current can be calculated. Using the above example, we find: The current required can be calculated using [[Image:Magnetic_field_equation.png|100px]] The current required to create 225 G (0.0225 T) using this coil is: '''~7.5 A''' === Determining MOSFET speed === Usually we want our MOSFET switch to be as fast as possible, and thus we must optimize the rise and fall time of the FET choice. We will always be limited by the coil inductance, however keeping everything else optimized is essential. When choosing the MOSFET, look for low gate charge (Q_g). Although there are many other factors that come into play, usually low gate charge results in fast rise/fall times for the FET. For example, seethe IRF3714z datasheet [http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irl3714z.pdf here]. This MOSFET has a rise time of 13ns and a fall time of 5ns, given a gate charge of about 2.6nC of gate charge (pre + post Vth). === Determining Vgs and Vds limitations === These are things that can be found on the MOSFET datasheet (e.g. see the [http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irl3714z.pdf IRF3714z datasheet]). One can, in simulation, determine the I-V characteristics for different Vgs and Vds values, demonstrated in the how-to video above. The goal of this is to find the proper choice of Vds such that your range of Vgs values gives you the desired current levels (without unintentionally destroying the MOSFET). = Choose suitable bypass and filtering capacitors = The bypass capacitors (see basic single-fet image at top of page) are essential in creating an effective magnetic field generator. These capacitors "bypass" the DC source by acting as little energy storage tanks for the field generation circuit. When fast, high-current pulses are required by the coil, the charge is pulled from these capacitors instead of the DC supply. To calculate the proper bypass capacitor values, the following must be known: # Required peak current # Required pulse width # Required DC source voltage (Vds) Let us assume, based on the examples above, that the following is required: * Peak current: 7.5 A * Pulse width: 100 &mu;s * DC voltage: 15 V We first calculate the amount of charge (in C) required for the pulse: * 7.5 [C/s] * 100 [&mu;s] = 0.75 [mC] We then determine the minimum capacitance required: * 0.75 [mC] / 15 [V] = 50 [&mu;F] However, it is good practice to double or triple this value, to be safe and allow for flexibility: * 50 [&mu;F] * 3 = '''150 [&mu;F]''' Two of [http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/T491X107M025AT/399-9749-1-ND/3724921 these tantalum capacitors] could be purchased to accommodate for this amount of capacitance. Finally, small ceramic capacitors are useful for filtering noise from the power line. Purchasing two of [http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/CL21F104ZBCNNNC/1276-1007-1-ND/3889093 these 0.1 &mu;F capacitors] and placing them in parallel with the bypass capacitors filters unwanted noise. = Choose a suitable current-sense resistor = The current sense resistor allows one observe the electronic pulse output and relate the measured value to the current through the coil. The choice of the resistor is dependent on the: * Peak current expected * MOSFET Vgs behavior * Measurement equipment resolution In our calculations, we determined that our coil will require approximately 7.5 A to generate the appropriate magnetic field. Thus, we must choose a current-sense resistor that is of low value, but high enough such that the voltage generated across from it will be detected by our measurement equipment. Additionally, the voltage generated across this resistor will drop our Vgs as the current increases, thus limiting total current capability. For example, if we choose a resistor value of 1 &Omega;, the peak current (7.5 A) will generate 7.5 V across the resistor and thus drop Vgs by that amount. That is a lot! We must choose a smaller resistor. If we choose 0.05 &Omega;, the peak current will only generate 0.375 V across the resistor, which is much better. However, we must then ensure that our measurement equipment has good enough resolution to detect the 0 - 375 mV range desirably. Finally, the resistor must have a good power rating, given the desired pulse duty cycle. Low-power resistors can handle very high currents, provided the duty cycle of the pulse is very low. The average power dissipated across the resistor must be lower than its rated power, but the instantaneous power can be much greater than the rating. For example, consider [http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/MP725-0.050-1%25/MP725-0.050-FCT-ND/2138950 this 0.05 &Omega;, 25 W resistor]. I would like pass a current of 150 A through this resistor. The instantaneous power would be 1.125 kW, or 45x its rated power. However, if I were to apply a pulse width of 1 &mu;s with a 10 ms period (duty cycle of 0.01%), the average power is only 0.1125 W (using [http://faculty.wwu.edu/vawter/PhysicsNet/Topics/ACCircuit/AC-AvePower.html this relation]). 813 812 2015-04-14T15:33:33Z Johnp 2 /* Choose suitable bypass and filtering capacitors */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[Image:Single_fet_circuit.png|thumb|400px|Basic single-FET field generator circuit]] = Main Items = These main items are discussed in detail in [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2mCzZ1z48std0hBX2dBQnRDYzQ/view?usp=sharing Magnetic Field Generator Design for Magneto-Optic Switching Applications]. # Get required software (simulation and layout) # Learn how to use CAD software # Choose a suitable magneto-optic material (e.g. [http://integratedphotonics.com/products/bigfaradayrotators.html here]) # Create a field generation coil # Choose a suitable MOSFET # Choose suitable bypass and filtering capacitors # Choose a suitable current-sense resistor # Add miscellaneous passive and protection components # Manufacture PCB = Get required software = The two softwares used in the HSSE Lab include Orcad Capture CIS Lite and Eagle PCB Designer.

Since the material will be cut into 1x1mm slabs, the required field must be between '''0 - 225 Oe'''. [[Image:Integrated_photonics.jpg|200px]] = Create a field generation coil = As in the image shown below, we create our coil based on geometrical constraints. We will choose this particular coil to have the following properties: * Length: 6mm * Radius: 1.5mm * Number of turns: 16 * Field required: 225 Oe (225 G with &mu;_r=1) [[Image:Coil_making.jpg|400px]] = Choose a suitable MOSFET = To choose a suitable MOSFET there are many things to take into consideration. Some of the main questions to ask before searching include: # How much current is required by the MOSFET? # How fast does the MOSFET need to be? # Is there a limit to the voltage I can apply on Vgs and Vds? === Determining current required by the MOSFET === For magnetic field generators, the current required by the MOSFET is usually a function of the coil used to create the magnetic field. Once this coil has been chosen and the field requirement decided, the required current can be calculated. Using the above example, we find: The current required can be calculated using [[Image:Magnetic_field_equation.png|100px]] The current required to create 225 G (0.0225 T) using this coil is: '''~7.5 A''' === Determining MOSFET speed === Usually we want our MOSFET switch to be as fast as possible, and thus we must optimize the rise and fall time of the FET choice. We will always be limited by the coil inductance, however keeping everything else optimized is essential. When choosing the MOSFET, look for low gate charge (Q_g). Although there are many other factors that come into play, usually low gate charge results in fast rise/fall times for the FET. For example, seethe IRF3714z datasheet [http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irl3714z.pdf here]. This MOSFET has a rise time of 13ns and a fall time of 5ns, given a gate charge of about 2.6nC of gate charge (pre + post Vth). === Determining Vgs and Vds limitations === These are things that can be found on the MOSFET datasheet (e.g. see the [http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irl3714z.pdf IRF3714z datasheet]). One can, in simulation, determine the I-V characteristics for different Vgs and Vds values, demonstrated in the how-to video above. The goal of this is to find the proper choice of Vds such that your range of Vgs values gives you the desired current levels (without unintentionally destroying the MOSFET). = Choose suitable bypass and filtering capacitors = The bypass capacitors (see basic single-fet image at top of page) are essential in creating an effective magnetic field generator. These capacitors "bypass" the DC source by acting as little energy storage tanks for the field generation circuit. When fast, high-current pulses are required by the coil, the charge is pulled from these capacitors instead of the DC supply. To calculate the proper bypass capacitor values, the following must be known: # Required peak current # Required pulse width # Required DC source voltage (Vds) Let us assume, based on the examples above, that the following is required: * Peak current: 7.5 A * Pulse width: 100 &mu;s * DC voltage: 15 V We first calculate the amount of charge (in C) required for the pulse: * 7.5 [C/s] * 100 [&mu;s] = 0.75 [mC] We then determine the minimum capacitance required: * 0.75 [mC] / 15 [V] = 50 [&mu;F] However, it is good practice to double or triple this value, to be safe and allow for flexibility: * 50 [&mu;F] * 3 = '''150 [&mu;F]''' Two of [http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/T491X107M025AT/399-9749-1-ND/3724921 these tantalum capacitors] could be purchased to accommodate for this amount of capacitance.

The goal of this is to find the proper choice of Vds such that your range of Vgs values gives you the desired current levels (without unintentionally destroying the MOSFET). = Choose suitable bypass capacitors = The bypass capacitors (see basic single-fet image at top of page) are essential in creating an effective magnetic field generator. These capacitors "bypass" the DC source by acting as little energy storage tanks for the field generation circuit. When fast, high-current pulses are required by the coil, the charge is pulled from these capacitors instead of the DC supply. To calculate the proper bypass capacitor values, the following must be known: # Required peak current # Required pulse width # Required DC source voltage (Vds) Let us assume, based on the examples above, that the following is required: * Peak current: 7.5 A * Pulse width: 100 &mu;s * DC voltage: 15 V We first calculate the amount of charge (in C) required for the pulse: * 7.5 [C/s] * 100 [&mu;s] = 0.75 [mC] We then determine the minimum capacitance required: * 0.75 [mC] / 15 [V] = 50 [&mu;F] However, it is good practice to double or triple this value, to be safe and allow for flexibility: * 50 [&mu;F] * 3 = '''150 [&mu;F]''' 807 806 2015-04-14T14:57:28Z Johnp 2 /* Choose a suitable MOSFET */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[Image:Single_fet_circuit.png|thumb|400px|Basic single-FET field generator circuit]] = Main Items = These main items are discussed in detail in [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2mCzZ1z48std0hBX2dBQnRDYzQ/view?usp=sharing Magnetic Field Generator Design for Magneto-Optic Switching Applications]. # Get required software (simulation and layout) # Learn how to use CAD software # Choose a suitable magneto-optic material (e.g. [http://integratedphotonics.com/products/bigfaradayrotators.html here]) # Create a field generation coil # Choose a suitable MOSFET # Choose suitable bypass capacitors # Choose a suitable current-sense resistor # Choose a suitable input resistance # Manufacture PCB = Get required software = The two softwares used in the HSSE Lab include Orcad Capture CIS Lite and Eagle PCB Designer.

We will choose this particular coil to have the following properties: * Length: 6mm * Radius: 1.5mm * Number of turns: 16 * Field required: 225 Oe (225 G with &mu;_r=1) [[Image:Coil_making.jpg|400px]] = Choose a suitable MOSFET = To choose a suitable MOSFET there are many things to take into consideration. Some of the main questions to ask before searching include: # How much current is required by the MOSFET? # How fast does the MOSFET need to be? # Is there a limit to the voltage I can apply on Vgs and Vds? === Determining current required by the MOSFET === For magnetic field generators, the current required by the MOSFET is usually a function of the coil used to create the magnetic field. Once this coil has been chosen and the field requirement decided, the required current can be calculated. Using the above example, we find: The current required can be calculated using [[Image:Magnetic_field_equation.png|100px]] The current required to create 225 G (0.0225 T) using this coil is: '''~7.5 A''' === Determining MOSFET speed === Usually we want our MOSFET switch to be as fast as possible, and thus we must optimize the rise and fall time of the FET choice. We will always be limited by the coil inductance, however keeping everything else optimized is essential. When choosing the MOSFET, look for low gate charge (Q_g). Although there are many other factors that come into play, usually low gate charge results in fast rise/fall times for the FET. For example, seethe IRF3714z datasheet [http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irl3714z.pdf here]. This MOSFET has a rise time of 13ns and a fall time of 5ns, given a gate charge of about 2.6nC of gate charge (pre + post Vth). 799 798 2015-04-14T14:30:34Z Johnp 2 /* Determining current required by the MOSFET */ wikitext text/x-wiki = Main Items = These main items are discussed in detail in [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2mCzZ1z48std0hBX2dBQnRDYzQ/view?usp=sharing Magnetic Field Generator Design for Magneto-Optic Switching Applications]. # Get required software (simulation and layout) # Learn how to use CAD software # Choose a suitable magneto-optic material (e.g. [http://integratedphotonics.com/products/bigfaradayrotators.html here]) # Create a field generation coil # Choose a suitable MOSFET # Choose suitable bypass capacitors # Choose a suitable current-sense resistor # Choose a suitable input resistance # Manufacture PCB = Get required software = The two softwares used in the HSSE Lab include Orcad Capture CIS Lite and Eagle PCB Designer.

They are denoted "Intermediate" because they use plug-and-play modules that interface to an Arduino, controlled by click-and-drag programming - however, they differ from "[[Beginner Tutorials|Beginner]]" since the user must be more aware of the ports to plug the modules into. Users do not have to deal with C/C++ coding, nor do they need to worry about circuits. The [[Advanced Tutorials]] deal with discrete circuit components, integrated circuits, breadboards, and the user programs in C/C++ instead of using Ardublock. = Arduino and Ardublock System = The Arduino is a device that can control the input and output of information and also make calculations.

We will be working with the tunable laser in output 2 located in the 81640A module. This laser's output is constant at the frequency and power specified. The laser's power is limited by its frequency. If you wish to see the maximum power available for any specific frequency, press the Appl button and select Pmax curve. This system also supports a modulated output, which can be useful for testing different components using the photodetector, amplifier, and oscilloscope. This system also has several inputs. The inputs we will be using are located in the Power Sensor 81635A module. These inputs record power in dBm. === How to set up === * Set frequency to 1550 nm * Set output power to 3.5 dBm == Optical Spectrum Analyzer == [[Image:Agilent_86146B.JPG|400px|none|thumb|Agilent 86146B Optical Spectrum Analyzer]] [http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5980-0177E.pdf Datasheet] === Description === This device is used to find the frequency spectrum of a source attached to the optical input. === How to Setup === * Press the Wavelength button * If there is a clear peak, use 'Peak to CENTER' to center the display on that frequency.
